GOTHIC is a distinctive wall lamp designed by Bent Karlby in 1970. Quite surprisingly, only limited information still exists about the series, making GOTHIC an intriguing bit of Danish design mystery. The name was a reference by Karlby to the gothic architectural style that flourished throughout Europe from the 12th to the 16th century, which was characterized by tall narrow structures with pointed arches. The open top allows for upward lighting that leaves a striking pattern on the wall. Through the narrow peepholes - one of Karlby’s hallmarks - a small stream of light flows out and onto the curved brass shades.

Bent Karlby
Bent Karlby is widely regarded today as one of Denmark’s most productive and versatile lighting designers of the 20th century. He started his collaboration with LYFA in the 1940s, which was a partnership that would last nearly four decades. Bent Karlby is known for his soft light, organic shapes and hallmark peepholes. During his career, Karlby moved more towards pure geometric shapes such as the cone, cylinder and arc along with playful colours. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Bent Karlby never employed staff in his studio. He wanted things done his way and was known for his uncompromising work ethics. Among his most famous works are the PEANUT, China, Japan, MOSAIK, NINOTCHKA, Barcelona and PAN pendants, the ERGO table lamp as well as the Peacock, Quadrille, PAN and GOTHIC wall lamps.
